2 is best
2 :
You should have 4. Most german households have 1 children each. If you have 4, you have more chances of ruling Germany. If these 4 have offspring, you can hire them to be your cabinet members.
3 :
many, but not all will be yours...

Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
My husband is being stationed in Bamberg and is set for deployment for Oct. 09 we will get there at the end of August 09. We have a 1 year old son as well. I work full time and planned on going back to school this month but than was told we are being pcs'd to germany so i decided to wait.. (again) well my question is.. is it worth it to move for 6 weeks across the world? i am in DC now and give up my gov job and my husbands family? my family lives in texas and the fam i have here well dont really have any. i make really good money just about the same as my husband and I dont know how giving up my income and downsizing a couple thousand $$ is going to take on my family. but my husband really wants us to move with him and than just come back after he deploys, but how would that work and also BAH here in DC is great in germany its about 500 less and i would be giving up my income. Also i have my own apartment but i only stay there for 8 days out of the month since my inlaws keep my son during the day i have found it easier to stay anight there during the week days, and my husband wants me to give that up if i stay in the states but he doesnt pay any of the bills. All of his income is being put into a savings for our new home and its furnishings. but yes so i pay rent car note phones everything on my income and still do okay so i was just hoping that someone would see my side and if not give me some good advice that would help me.. i really dont know what to do.. the thought of moving to another country excites me but to be there for 12 months without my husband scares me. and about Bamberg.. has anyone been there as a wife of a deployed solider and stayed throughtout the deployment, instead of coming home? sorry for the run on.. but clearly yall can see im lost.. thanks for the help in advance Also I am in the national guard and have the option to go back active. Can anyone give me a listing for housing there if i chose to go back active. Okay so i know the economy is bad but jeez women, its not that bad where we wouldnt be able to afford to make the move on our own, i might not have been totally honest about the money thing.. when i said we make about the same well not really we both make several thousand a month but i kinda make a bit more than he does. so money isnt the problem i guess i was just looking for reason not to move, i mean he does deploy in Oct but after long hard thoughts and talking it over with him. i am going to move there with him and stay for his total tour there. i will just fly in family every few months and visit the states once a month if even that. Thanks for the advice but not very helpful.

Honestly, it does not sound worth it to move. While it would be nice to be together there is just SO much you would be losing.

Just a question......who is paying for you to move back 6 weeks later??????? The Military sure isn't that's for sure! But if you don't move your belongings when he PCSs, then the military won't pay for it later either. I see both sides of this. You have a great support system. Which is awesome. Allot of people don't have that. You are comfortable where you live now. You are making good money. You want to complete your schooling. He is not going to leave Germany as soon as he gets back from deployment. So how are you going to pay to move there? Then you also have to worry about getting command sponsorship over a year after he has been there. You would most likely have to take that money out of your housing fund. Are you 2 prepared to do that? Are you prepared to possibly stay in the states for his whole term in Germany? Have you checked into online college courses? Yup this is a hard one, but the 2 of you are going to have to make this decision. You need to decide what is best for the whole family and not just one of the people involved. I have been stationed in Germany & lived in Germany as a child. It's awesome, maybe one of the best OCONUS assignments you can get.You will find work, and have on post daycare for your child.

-Why only 6 weeks. So you would come back if he were to deploy? Or why would you not stay in Germany and do some traveling? My girls and I saw 15 other countries while we were stationed in Germany. And my husband deployed 2 times from Germany, which is when we did most of our traveling. We never came home except for one funeral. -Once he PCS's to germany you will lose the BAH rate for DC anyways, it will go to Germany. And if you don't go over, you will not get the COLA rate which will more than make up for the BAH you will lose. And if you decide to move back from Germany you will lose COLA. And the military will not pay for you to move back if the move is on your own. -If you are really worried about it all, Stay put then. Then move there after the deployment if they will even let you by then. But then remember that if you decide not to go then, he will still be there at least 3 years. If you need any certain answers on Germany let me know, we spent almost 4 years there and would go back tomorrow if we could. Good luck

Dilemma regarding career path in Engineering?
Dilemma regarding career path in Engineering?
I am a fresh graduate with no real experience I have been offered two job positions that are completely different and I am kind of confused. The first is as a Sales Electrical engineer, the company has existed for 86 years,they deal in cars,construction,electrical trading and construction,medical installation & trading,industrial construction & trading,etc...You get it the company is huge,they want me to be a Sales Electrical engineer on their product SIEMENS and they are willing to also send me to Germany for training.The other company in ranked 8th in the world in Electrical Design & Consulting. So here is my dilemma the two companies are really big and huge,but the problem is the big gap in salary the one of Sales Electrical Engineer is lower by like 30%,but everybody keeps on telling me that all the money is in Sales Electrical Engineering and the company told me that eventually i will be making more money as a Sales Electrical Engineer rather than an Electrical design engineer,so from the people in the field can you please tell me on the long run where the money is,i mean i find myself equally liking both job descriptions so I want to make my decision based on which path generates more money in the long run... Thank you The thing is I am happily willing to do both job descriptions,they both look interesting,both companies are huge,I am leaning towards the Sales Engineer job but is it justified to work for the lower salary,I mean am i crazy to do that,and is it true the there is more money in Sales engineering rather than Design Engineering. Thx

If your decision is solely money......I can't help you....money is the least important factor in beginning a job........you have to like what you do.......
2 :
The most fundamental question that you need to answer yourself is "do you want to be a salesman?" A sales engineer is a salesman that sells technical products so having an engineering degree, while being of questionable necessity gives credibility. Your career path downstream of either of these jobs will dictate which is better financially. You are not going to make big money at either position but in the positions you take after them. The difference is the path that they start you on. The sales path is through sales and marketing. The engineering path is technical. Both can be lucrative but they are based on different skill sets. Take a long-term perspective in this decision.

In the European Union, can countries like Spain, Germany, France, Italy etc all borrow at the same interest?
In the European Union, can countries like Spain, Germany, France, Italy etc all borrow at the same interest?
Or do they pay a different interest? I heard on TV that countries like Greece took on much more debt since their interest rates were lowered when they joined the Euro. So the debt crisis is supposedly a direct result of that. Before that they would have borrowed far less since the interest payments were higher. But does that really make sense? Do all countries in the EU borrow money at the same rates or do some countries borrow at lower rates than others?

Without any help from the EU and IMF they will pay the different rates based on market sentiment. Greece and Ireland bond rates were almost 6% when the problems came out. But all have to pay back their debts equally, North or South.
2 :
No. That would be like saying that all residents of Minnesota can borrow at the same rate irrespective of their credit risk.
3 :
Countries with the same risk rating can borrow at the same rate of interest. One country with a worse risk profile cannot and should not receive the same interest rates as a less risky alternative, in an open market, and typically won't get the same effective rate unless it is subsidized in some way
4 :
Different countries = different rates. Government of a country is the borrower, and borrowers with less income and more risk have to pay higher risk.
5 :
It does really make sense to me. I don't really understand why having the same currency means that when a country has a problem the rest should go and bail it out. And why the bankruptcy of a country would be a problem for the stability of the currency? It's like if a big company like..... let's say Enron, goes bankrupt the rest of the companies should bail Enron out like if Enron's bankruptcy was going to mean the end of the $. In old-style economy governments would overspend and then use the central bank to print more money to solve the deficit problem. That creates a lot of troubles. With this policy the governments have to be really accurate about their finances. But of course old-time school is always there and it seems that the ECB is going after FED and making the same mistakes.

Do you think it is wise to spend money making "Environmentally friendly bombs?"?
Do you think it is wise to spend money making "Environmentally friendly bombs?"?
I just read on Yahoo news that Germany made environmentally friendly bombs. I think that is nice that there won't be toxic gases and all but really isn't more wise to spend money on more important things then explosive devices? I just wanted other opinions please~Thanks;) I agree Snookie~;) That is how I feel~ That's why I find it silly that they say it is "environmentally friendly" but it is still causing deaths and destruction right?!

Besides, why should people decide to blow up this and that over a political argument between a few men.

do you think we should legalise all drugs from pot to speed,whats your thoughts?
do you think we should legalise all drugs from pot to speed,whats your thoughts?
Prohibition does not prevent cannabis use by children or the mentally ill, the vulnerable populations whom we supposedly want to protect. Instead, cannabis prohibition makes it more difficult for parents, patients, society, doctors and law enforcement to control cannabis use. The Drug War makes honest education about cannabis impossible, and leaves cannabis users marginalized in ways that make their lives more stressful. This stress is unhealthy for everyone, but it is certainly most damaging to people with schizophrenia. Cannabis prohibition is not merely a failure; it is a counterproductive fraud that is harming those whom we claim we want to protect. There are currently more teens in treatment centers for marijuana in comparison to those admitted for alcohol. Only an idiot would have to ask why alcohol is not the no#1 problem after all alcohol is perfectly legal ( If you are 21.) That is due to responsible people handling alcohol by way of the carding and id system. Contraband markets make no age disgression. Since the crackdown on tobacco there are 75% fewer teens trying or using tobacco. However when it comes to cannabis and other illicit substances it’s a whole other ball game. Control, regulation and better education work prohibition, dose not. Or as John Walters of the ondcp (Office for national drug control policy) calls it “ a war on drugs†(Sorry John but it's true look at the Netherlands) America loves a war even if it is on it’s own people. One of several reason they don’t legalize drugs is not because of the harm of drugs, But people would lose more money in the long run. Some of the people behind the support of this irrational so called war are The tobacco industry, the alcohol and distilled spirit industry ( people simply don’t drink as much, or decide not to drink at all with cannabis meaning a decline in there sales. The pharmaceutical corporations can not make money on whole or raw cannabis, but they can charge an arm and a leg for there synthetic Marinol (dronabinol) CIII. The textile and paper industry would lose out from hemp production, sinse hemp dose not need to go through all the various processes that ordinary tree products would. Also it’s possible to get two harvest in one season. However people don’t know the difference between industrial hemp and smokeable cannabis, yet they are able to distinguish between the two in other country’s like Germany, the UK , Netherlands and even Canada, but our `DEA agents are so dumb they cant tell the difference between a stalk and a bush. Also people who have any knowledge of growing high quality cannabis will tell you that male plants should never be grown next to your high grade female plants, (unless of course you want to pollinate for future seed production). When it comes to farming hemp the males are left in tact to pollinate the females and produce as much seed as possible. This would mean a seedy mess for the pot smoker to clean up and produce undesirable future generations of smokeable cannabis. If anything, Hemp farming would be anti marijuana and would harm any outdoor pot farming within a one mile radius of any hemp farm. The petroleum industry would also be affected, sinse almost everything that can be made from petroleum can be synthesized from hemp oil, everything from bio fuel to even plastics. If North America would use a third of it’s land for hemp production we could create enough bio fuel to supply an area the size of Canada. Now also for a moment consider how many people are incarcerated over just cannabis who are currently in the prisons and jails. If cannabis were legalized and all inmates serving time for cannabis were freed there would be an over abundance of empty cells, and millions of guards in this country would be no longer needed. The prison building industry would almost be obsolete ( and if all drugs were legalized that would mean even more empty cells). So the prison system must have some means of gaining more inmates. Not to mention other areas such as treatment centers, probation.etc or HIDTA high intensity drug traffic areas where money is fed in to law enforcement, (they would miss there green $$$) Drugs , not even alcohol are the cause of the fundamental ills of society, rather than checking people for the presence of drugs, they should first test people for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

Absolutely not!! Drugs destroys people's lives, it destroys brain cells (once brain cells are destroyed they will never grow back), destroys families, drugs cause an undo burden on the over-taxed health system, drugs causes people to lose hope for the future, and most important is the fact that drugs kill just don't kill the user/pusher either but drugs also kill innocent by-standers too. Medical marijuana is another story. Marijuana; under very strict supervision of a doctor; can relieve glaucoma, relieve pain associated with cancer/ Aids, and increases hunger in cancer patients while decreasing nausea. If they did make medical marijuana legal, marijuana might just stay out of the hands who what to do nothing more but abuse it. The reason being is because the hospitals might be willing to pay more for it than what most casual users, especially teenagers, might be willing to pay for. Medical marijuana is the ONLY drug that should be legalized and for every reason that I stated in the previous paragraphs. Besides that, if you are dying from cancer/ Aids, your only concern is to live the last few days pain free and medical marijuana has been proven to improve the lives of people that is dying from cancer/ Aids better than any other method available.

Well man it takes forever to read all that but here is what I think. I think that if Marijuana was legal then I wouldnt be able to afford it and it would be subject to inflation and maybe the way we handle weed is fine for the moment, but small personal use smokers shouldnt even be bothered. Its people who are growing seperate houses full of the stuff and not having any discretion over who its being sold to that is a drag about the pot. But there is far worse out there, I have seen people who smoke pot and are able to function and maintain just fine. I have seen people messed up on meth,speed,alcahol,cocaine, and other such drugs who dont pay their bills and only care about themselves, the dealers are just as money and power hungry, lets take care of the major narcotics that are destroying our society and tearing families apart,making them homeless! Lets address those issues before we study Marijuana and small time growers or users and crack down on the crack dealers and meth labs, if you really want to make a difference in society.!!! I want my kids to grow up in a better world,where they dont have to worry about gunshots or drugs!!!!!

Yes, I do. If we want to get the prison overcrowding to end quickly then legalize drugs such as pot, cocaine, and meth for "personal use only. Take the crime out of these crimes and we let people decide what they choose to put into their own bodies. If they OD and die, who is going to miss them - except their parents and kids?
6 :
I don't use drugs, but the fact is people do and always will. If you legalise it, you at least eradicate the dealer, lessen crime and because you identify the user you can help them more easily.

Alcohol and Nicotine are both drugs. If marijuanna is to stay illegal because its a drug and destroys lives, then all alcoholic drinks need to be illegalized as well since alcohol destroys far more lives than marijuana. Same with all tobbacco products We already tried illeagalizing alcohol, it was called prohibition and we found out is doesn't work Government isnt there to protect us from ourselves, thats our job. Legalize It!

There are so many reasons why it would be better to end prohibition but there are very powerful people with a vested interest in the status quo. You mentioned the pharmaceutical industry. They would also loose a lot of money if the medical benefits of cannabis could be exploited. The drug traffickers, who are the ones who directly benefit from prohibition, must have friends in very high places.
Prohibition does not prevent cannabis use by children or the mentally ill, the vulnerable populations whom we supposedly want to protect. Instead, cannabis prohibition makes it more difficult for parents, patients, society, doctors and law enforcement to control cannabis use. The Drug War makes honest education about cannabis impossible, and leaves cannabis users marginalized in ways that make their lives more stressful. This stress is unhealthy for everyone, but it is certainly most damaging to people with schizophrenia. Cannabis prohibition is not merely a failure; it is a counterproductive fraud that is harming those whom we claim we want to protect. There are currently more teens in treatment centers for marijuana in comparison to those admitted for alcohol. Only an idiot would have to ask why alcohol is not the no#1 problem after all alcohol is perfectly legal ( If you are 21.) That is due to responsible people handling alcohol by way of the carding and id system. Contraband markets make no age disgression. Since the crackdown on tobacco there are 75% fewer teens trying or using tobacco. However when it comes to cannabis and other illicit substances it’s a whole other ball game. Control, regulation and better education work prohibition, dose not. Or as John Walters of the ondcp (Office for national drug control policy) calls it “ a war on drugs†(Sorry John but it's true look at the Netherlands) America loves a war even if it is on it’s own people. One of several reason they don’t legalize drugs is not because of the harm of drugs, But people would lose more money in the long run.
